Hi there. I know there must be at least a few principals or members of a school board of trustees on this forum so I'll give it a shot. At my schools library, we have a fairly pathetic collection of LGBT related novels or reference/help books on the subject. I was thinking of approaching the school about a dedicated section and ordering more books in. Obviously money would be a problem on the schools already tight budget. So some fundraising might help.
I was thinking, a day where students would be partially exempt from current school uniform rules, so they could wear a brightly coloured/patterned tee-shirt to show support for LGBT students at our school, and if they wanted in they would give a donation of any amount to go towards funding the LGBT section in the library.
So principals and board members or whoever can help, do you think many schools (I go to a public school) would allow this/consider it? One of my best mates is the head boy and a few of my other mates are prefects so if I speak to the principal and get them to talk to him about it as well then maybe it will help it along a bit.
Thanks
